Kaiser tour dates cancelled

Kaiser Chiefs have had to cancel a series of Spanish tour dates with The Tears and Clovis, after their touring party fell victim to an apparently rare and nasty bug. A statement on the band’s official website reads: “It’s with deep regret we have to cancel our planned gigs on the Wintercase Tour in Spain this week. These are the first shows in Kaiser Chiefs history we have cancelled. The cancellation is caused by an outbreak a highly contagious and rare virus in our travel party. Unfortunately this has lead to enforced cancellation of all Kaiser Chiefs gigs this week until each of the band has the all-clear following medical tests. We apologise for any disappointment this may cause and hope you understand the strange circumstances that have lead to this. We hope it’s not too long before we have the chance to visit Spain again.”
